In this years Super 14 match between the Blues and the Lions, Doug Howlett and Earl Rose had somewhat of a sideshow going on, with a number of clashes. The first of which was a bit of a scuffle and supposed quick headbutt by Rose on Howlett.

Dougie Howlett sure put him in his place though, with two great tackles, the second of which shown here is an absolute monster.

I can't understand why rugbydump keeps on posting illegal (as in, high tackles with only shoulders used) hits as "Great, big hits". Show me a proper tackle, one that is done according to the rulebook (first tackle wasn't bad, but second one just goes to show my point).

It doesn't take courage to shoulder someone high. For shame rugbydump.
